Top Samoëns Hotel Reviews

Résidence La Cour

Résidence La Cour

10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed such a fabulous stay at this place. So conveniently located a 10 minute walk from the ski lifts and 5 minutes to the main town square. Well equipped room, comfortable bed, and every room has doors leading to a patio or balcony. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. The spa facilities were a wonderful touch. The only minor change would be the cleanliness of our room - the floor was rather dirty so had to ensure we wore slippers or sliders so we didn’t get mucky feet. Otherwise, I would definitely stay here again and again."
